Guinea pigs don't need a top on their cage but SOME because some are climbers or if you have a cat you might want to consider a top. You don't NEED a top unless you want one! ^^

Can your guinea pig live in a cage outside?

a guinea pig cant really live in a proper indoor cage out side because the tops are usually made out of metal poles all meshed together with holes in and they are also low to the ground which means any small rodent could get in and if it rained then the guinea pigs would get wet catch a cold and so on so the best thing if you want to keep your guinea pigs outside would be to get a hutch like one that you can keep a rabbit in

How do you I train my guinea pig and keep her attention on me at the same time?

I suggest using food. Pigs all love food. You can use Carrots, Broccoli, Carrot tops, Lettuce, Spinach, etc. Guinea Pigs also need VITAMIN C, so it is best to give them vitamin C things. If your pig doesn't like food, use treats. They make special treats for Guinea Pigs. You want to bribe your Guinea Pig.. Without using food, they probably won't pay any attention to you... Here's a tip for training: When you are teaching your pig a trick, make sure to say a word. For example, if you are teaching your pig to circle, make sure to say circle a lot to get them used to the word. Hope this all helps :)


How often do you need to move a guinea pigs cage?

while you can keep them out for a loooong time as long as they have food and water. but beware lol if you are holding them then they will pee on you usually if held for more then a half hour tops (at least my guinea pig lol). i almost always hold her with a towel because of this reason. without food or water i would say that you shouldn't keep them out for more then a couple hours (and yes if they are grazing grass counts as food and you can keep them out for at least up to 3 hours in this case). I'm not an expert so i would be careful. and remember if it is hot you should not leave your guinea pig outside unless it has a cool shaded place to go if it wants to and you should still not leave it out for more then half hour i would say if it is hot.

What is a guinea pigs favourite food?

Guinea pigs tend to like carrots and hay over any type of food. Piggies need a constant supply of timothy hay to maintain proper digestion. Be careful that you don't give alfalfa hay by mistake. Some commercial feeds still contain alfalfa even though it's been found to be unhealthy. lettuce and other greens like green beans and carrot tops but NOT ICEBERG LETTUCE it is bad for them.
